Is this really not the case that any major metropolitan city having a diversity of cultures and creeds will end up reflecting any other major metropoitan city? The article mainly focuses on London, but how does the comparison stand up with other major UK cities?

i think the same can be said for every major british city. one point mentioned is starbucks. i can safely say that wherever i go, theres never a starbucks/mcdonalds/(insert major franshise here) too far away.

looking at people here in the uk, i don't think it is anti-americainism as such, but just general xenophobia.
